Bath repair in Upper Welland

How we handle bath repair in Upper Welland

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Upper Welland

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

If you’re in Upper Welland and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Welland

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Upper Welland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Welland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
